[…] Two sources close to Clinton said Monday that the former secretary of state will likely hold a press conference in an effort to push back on a week of speculation about why she used the private account instead of one hosted by the State Department. It would also present an opportunity for Clinton to defend her family foundation’s acceptance of contributions from foreign donors during and after her time at State.

A press conference addressing perceived secrecy and potential ethical lapses isn’t what Clinton wants to be doing in mid-March, and she and some of her close advisers had hoped to put off answering questions about her e-mail account until she formally launches her campaign, almost certainly in April.

But their desire to ride out the storm was overtaken by a sense that their initial attempt to let some air out of the controversy—via a tweet conveying Clinton’s request for the State Department to release her e-mails—hadn’t done enough to ease the tension. (link)

Well played Mrs. Palin, well played. Even after all these years, you are still living rent free in their heads.

so for me, it was trash day this morning, at 5am I stared at a wilted head a lettuce and thought “that thing needs to be tossed out”… oddly enough looking at this unretouched pic of Hillary I’m getting a wild feeling of Déjà vu

She’s like one of those old, dried up apple-head dolls, only not a doll, but a harpie and what’s in that head is worse than rotten–it’s an aggressive, anti-American, anti-freedom, lawless virus. And that stone-age necklace just contributes to the “old and wore out as dirt” impression.

I agree Jane, Attack her ideology, her ruthlessness of conducting official business, and statements Hillary has made over the years, there is plenty of information available to attack her. Of course, my all time favorite was; Hillary ordering the pilot of AF 2 to turn the plane around, so the public could not take pictures of her (behind) walking up the ramp, bordering the aircraft.

I would agree, however it seems that the Democrats revel in “Rock Star” candidates. All flash (Saxophones, Greek columns, slow jam news, selfies, interviews between two ferns….) with no ideas that are productive for our country, fumbles in foreign diplomacy (red lines made of ash on a windy day, bowing to dictators so many times we wonder if our president has a lumbar problem) if the Democrats LIVE in the shallow water of appearance over substance perhaps at times others have to come down to their level to even just communicate.. and God knows the Democrats will try to pick the Republican candidate (as they have the last 2 elections) perhaps someone should help the Democrats pick theirs

Seriously, what do her looks have to do with anything? I wish people would stop using this tactic against women in politics. While men do occasionally get insulted on their looks (Obamas’s ears for example), for the most part women are vilified for their looks so much more than men.

Surely there are more than enough bad choices, policies, actions, lies by Clinton that her looks are irrelevant.

(this comment is not directed at you specifically, there are others who have made similar comments.)

I think it’s so thick because every micrometer of every totem stands for another Baby that has been killed since the start of Planned Parenthood and the fatwah against the poor folks and the black race in this nation started by M. Sanger that paragon of eugenics and perpetuated by the PP.

Her jewelry has nothing to do with the evidence of lawlessness and fecklessness. People of good character can wear any kind of jewelry they want as far as I’m concerned. People of bad character can dress with great expense and it won’t help. Can we please not waste energy on her personal appearance. It isn’t relevant. If she was a size 8 and had delicate features she would be just as dangerous.

I often wonder what she needed during her formative years that may have been lacking. From what I understand she comes from a somewhat conservative and traditional family and yet she has, for all practical appearances, repudiated that upbringing.

Is it true that the 6 billion dollar budget accounting shortfall (embezzlement) for the State Department during the tenure of Hillary Clinton has now been accounted for as a series of “Jamaican Lottery Scam” winnings to third world countries agreeing to in return in part some of their “winnings” as a finders fee / “donation” made to the Clinton charitable foundation?

I am certain they announced this only after ensuring they could place an interview with a sympathetic reporter that won’t ask any tough questions or challenge anything she says. Oprah, perhaps? Or MHP?

Poll: 86% of likely Democratic primary voters say they are open to supporting Hillary Clinton for nomination; 42% of people who plan to vote in GOP primaries say they couldn’t see themselves supporting Jeb Bush – @WSJ

Poll Finds Big 2016 Field Divides GOP While Democrats Back Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush Faces More Resistance From His Party.

The two most recognizable figures in the 2016 presidential race start off in very different positions within their own parties, and with Americans overall feeling more positive toward Hillary Clinton than Jeb Bush.

How nice Hilary deigns to answer some questions in person. Of course, the QUESTIONS will likely be as carefully scripted as her answers.
Megan Kelly said tonight that Hilary is already blaming the controversy on a right wing conspiracy—the same way she did over the reporting of her husband’s affairs. Deja vu.

Clinton trying to get Ted Kennedy’s endorsement for Hillary, and they had Clinton talking to Ted Kennedy. They quote Clinton as saying: (paraphrasing) “You know, Ted, a few years ago this guy would be getting us coffee.”

In the New Yorker, Ryan Lizza reports that the late Tim Russert told him of a similar comment by Clinton. According to Ryan Lizza, via Tim Russert, Clinton said to Ted Kennedy: “You know, Ted, a few years ago this guy would have been carrying our bags.” And Clinton’s impression of Obama hasn’t improved since 2008. Last year he told a bunch of friends, and this is in Ed Klein’s book, The Amateur, Clinton told a bunch of friends: (summary via Clinton impression) You know this guy, Obama, he doesn’t even know how to be president. He doesn’t know how the world works. How could he? He’s been too busy fetching my coffee, carrying my bags.

I cannot help but try to use some hypothetical math on this Hilliary email thing…..Now she says there were some 50,000 pages of emails in her four years as SOS….and if an email consists of say one paragraph of say 30 words each, then that is 1.5 MILLION words produced in Emails by Hilliary in her communications….now at 30 words a minute typing speed, quite fast for a cell phone, that is 500,000 minutes of typing, or almost 10,000 hours of typing over 4 years, or 2500 hours per year, which is typing solid for 8 hours each day for 300 days, which is most every day for the entire year excluding her vacation and a few weekends. Somehow, I do not believe that this has any credibility, and Harf says it would take millions of dollars to review these emails, and somehow I understand the electronic data of the emails was not turned over, just the printed pages…..I think this is a pile of steaming Clinton horse hocky.
